Michigan Injury Status (Speculative)
With a handful of players getting dinged yesterday, I’m starting to lose track of all our injuries. Since colleges don’t go public who is hurt and severity of injury, it is hard to keep track of them all. Here are all the injuries that seem to be known and their severity going into the game next weekend. Could be missing somebody. It’s that time of year when everyone has injuries but we have 11 major contributors who could be out and a handful of others who have some significant issues.
Doubtful / Out
QB Wilton Speight - Neck
WR Tarik Black - Foot
TE Nick Eubanks – Upper body / neck?
OT Grant Newsome - Leg
Questionable
CB Lavert Hill – Concussion
WR Kekoa Crawford – Lower Body?
WR Nico Collins – Lower Body
RB Karan Higdon – Lower Body / Ankle
RB Ty Isaac – Lower Body
OG – Mike Onwenu – Lower Body
DE Rashan Gary – Shoulder? Might be probable but he didn’t return after getting injured
Probable
CB David Long – Knee
WR Grant Perry – Lower Body? Doghouse? Not sure but played very little yesterday and missed some time before that
RB Kareem Walker – Lower body / ankle? Played yesterday but has been dinged up
TE Ty Wheatley – Lower Body?? Played as well yesterday but has also been dinged up

Gary and Hill are as valuable as any

He walked into the dressing room. He wasn't leaning on anyone for support.
What is it like to live in a world where the sky is continually falling?

and the others did not return. That's the only reason. He could be worse or ok.
November 12th, 2017 at 2:22 PM ^
Okay, thanks. That was my guess, just wasn't sure if anything else had been said.

I'm guessing that Onwenu is fine for Wisconsin. He was dressed and standing on the sideline and huddling near the field like the other back-ups against Maryland. I'll bet he could have played, but they decided to give him another week to heal up and give Ruiz another game of experience.

I was at the game, sitting by the Michigan bench, and I'm pretty sure I saw Onwenu dressed without a helmet. Not 100%, but pretty sure.

I think Michigan fans outnumbered Maryland fans. Seriously.
Michigan fans overwhelmingly outnumbered Maryland fans on my path to the stadium beside the XFinity center. But that may have been a function of where one-timers versus season ticket holders park.

Pretty sure it was Onwenu. If it was Dwumfour, he spent an abnormal amount of time around the other back-up OL.

Another "make shit up as we go" thread. This one is especially bad.
Note that this is not directed at the OP, because it's a bit useful to have a summary of injured players, but we have such little information that the armchair doctoring + blatant trolling makes everything but the OP rather useless.
November 12th, 2017 at 5:15 PM ^
And you've added to the quality of the thread?

has appeared to be dealing with a shouldler "thing" for a few games, most likely he aggravated it Saturday and most likely its a nerve issue.
Michigan seemed very cautious with injuries both before and during this game.
November 12th, 2017 at 2:50 PM ^
This. He came off the field during the Rutgers game for a bit with what looked to be a shoulder/side stinger of some kind. Seems constant/probably not a big deal.

the D has actually been pretty lucky in terms of injuries, reaching week 10 before any major contributors get banged up and/or potentially miss extended time. they dont rotate much (obviously great 3rd down D plays big part) yet still managed to stay healthy - its been great.
they mostly just roll with 3 CB and 4-5 LB to go with 2 S (thomas, glasgow, gil, etc earned few snaps here and there) and limited DL rotation. aside from garbage time, theyve only played like 18-19 guys (5 DB, 5 LB, 8-9 DL) thru 10 games which is impressive. im sure brown would love another S, LB, etc he can trust in most situations but it is what it is - and its worked for most part. hopefully most guys can go bc they clearly need hill, gary, etc vs wisc.
O is another story though with injuries everywhere on that side - and its shown. but thats football. its why recruiting, player development and coaching matter so much, obviously - and why many fans take such an interest. all 85 matter, as do walkons. a preseason strength can become a question area in a flash.
sorry, longer post than i intended. heres to the fellas healing up quickly - wisc will be fun for them but itll be a battle

These interviews should usually be interpreted as Harbaugh talking to the opposing team, using the interviewer as a conduit. Isaac might be, or might not be, back, but he wants the other team to have to game plan for multiple backs.

Angelique said that Hurst told the media that Gary's injury was no big deal. Higdon was walking normally after the game and smiling with friends and family.

Duplicate post fail is embarassing. #noob

Since we're on the subject of injuries, head injuries, concussions, severe brain injuries...do we have an update on Glen Mason?
November 12th, 2017 at 11:05 PM ^
believe Mason played too long wearing a leather helmet
November 13th, 2017 at 9:22 AM ^
Not sure they can win without Higdon.
